Chapter 279 - 286: A Lifetime
James Brown had not expected such an accident to happen, but his reaction was quick enough. He stretched out his arms and directly caught Lucy Campbell, and due to gravity, both of them sank under the sea. Only after kicking his legs did they resurface again.
"Hey, are you okay?" James Brown surfaced and immediately asked Lucy Campbell anxiously.
At this time, Lucy Campbell held tightly onto James Brown’s neck, her whole body supported horizontally by him. Still in shock, she took a few breaths before complaining, "It’s all your fault, causing me to fall."
Her tone and expression were clearly coquettish, which made James Brown’s heart flutter and feel even more guilty. He avoided Lucy Campbell’s gaze and said, "Be a bit more careful this time."
"What careful? You didn’t support me from behind. This time, don’t let go."
"Alright, I definitely won’t let go."
The smartest thing about Lucy Campbell was that she gave people a way out, now giving James Brown not only a way out but also a good reason to touch her.
However, when he saw that James Brown was still hesitant to touch her while helping her climb the rocks, Lucy Campbell glared at him and said, "Stop being so cautious. We hugged earlier anyway, which part haven’t you touched?"
James Brown awkwardly chuckled and then let go, first holding Lucy Campbell’s waist to lift her up so she could grab onto the rocks, then he held her legs, and finally, he let Lucy Campbell stand on his shoulders, successfully helping her get onto the top.
Having stabilized herself, Lucy Campbell said to James Brown: "You should wash up too, let’s head back earlier. I’ve been soaked all day, it feels like my body is swelling."
James Brown, having been soaked in the seawater all-day, wasn’t feeling great either, especially with Lucy Campbell’s delicate skin. So, he hurriedly washed and now with only his torso bare and in pants, he did a quick clean up.
